Electrostatics - Electric dipole
Not what you're looking for?
For two equal in magnitude but opposite charges +Q and -Q we can define a vector of dipole moment p, with the magnitude absolute value (p)=dxQ, where d is the distance between the charges. The direction of p is the direction from negative to positve charge (see figure)
1.)What force acts on the dipole in a uniform electric field E.
2.)What torque is acting on the dipole.
